Andrew Tate has claimed he is ‘the Batman’ and a ‘hero’ in a bizarre video rant posted online before his house arrest was extended.
Andrew, 36, and his brother Tristan Tate, 34, who are both dual UK-US nationals, have been at the centre of a lengthy investigation following claims they exploited women for profit. Both men have denied the charges against them.
Tate posted a three-minute long rant to Twitter just yesterday – with an even longer version available on video platform Rumble – lamenting his situation but vowing for the ‘return of The Top G’.
Wearing a pair of swimming trunks as he made a speech next to a fire pit in the luxury villa where the brothers are being held under house arrest, Tate claimed he is ‘Batman’ and ‘the hero in everybody’s lives’.
He said: ‘A lot of people are asking me how I feel. It’s a good question. It’s particularly a good question because I am the hero in everybody’s lives.
‘Anybody who knows me when anything goes wrong, they call me. I am the hero. I am the batman!
‘But if anyone can defeat this matrix attack, it’s going to be the top G.’
The disgraced influencer continued to proclaim his innocence in the investigation, telling his 6.9 million followers that a ‘level 10 matrix attack’ is ‘trying their very best to destroy me without evidence’.
He insisted: ‘I haven’t done anything wrong. They’ve just decided to attack me.’ ‘Maybe it’s all going to be ok,’ he continued, puffing on a cigar, ‘Maybe it won’t.’ The video ended with dramatic music.
The brothers were indicted earlier this week by prosecutors in the Romanian capital of Bucharest where they both now live and have been under investigation since last year.
As part of the probe Romania’s DIICOT investigators ordered the seizure of assets from the brother including 15 high value cars, 14 luxury watches and around £440,000 in cryptocurrency.
